The 2015 Canon AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards were held recently in Melbourne.  After taking last year off from entering, I decided to enter again this year.  I’m happy to say that I came home with two silver awards for my efforts.  Not too shabby!  Here’s a look at my award winning entries:

This is how the images were presented to the judges and the awards they received:

Wish me luck for next year!  I need three more points to receive my “Master of Photography” designation from the Australian Institute of Professional Photography.

The winner of my Fresh Faces contest received their prize last week.  This gorgeous 16×24″ gallery wrapped canvas was the grand prize($500 value).  It turned out great!  They made a good choice on which image to use for the canvas.  I love it.  They love it.  Life is good!  Here are a few photos of the canvas.  The photos don’t do it justice!

You can see the texture of the surface better in this shot.
